O'Rourke Supporters to Hold Demonstration for Clinton Visit
Looks like some supporters of Beto O'Rourke will be holding a demonstration during former President Bill Clinton's visit to El Paso in support of Congressman Reyes.
Here is an email that is being circulated among O'Rourke supporters.
It appears that this is the effort of some well-meaning supporters of O'Rourke but from what I am able to gather from sources within the campaign, it is not an official activity of the campaign and O'Rourke will be block-walking like its a regular day.
Personally, I think this is a bad idea. I'm sure they have good intentions, but its unnecessarily confrontational and I don't think there is a vote to be won by the demonstration. Its activity without a result.
The only thing its going to do is just contribute to the already prevalent bad-blood between the two camps. Its not smart and there is no benefit to O'Rourke in the activity.

HI BETO SUPPORTER:
There have been many exciting campaigns in the history of our great city, but never has there been one, with this kind of energy, excitement and above all HOPE.
The political season Human Chain record is 167 volunteers; a record that has stood for well over a decade. That was of course, generally accepted by all, as the most transformational and
important cause in modern day history of El Paso, The Ray Caballero for Mayor Campaign of 2001. That Victory opened the door to a new era of leadership and you are seeing it now in the
Susie Byrds, Steve Ortegas,
the Veronica Escobars and the Beto O'Rourkes of today.
Our Mission?
To Break The Caballero Human Chain Record. No one would be prouder than Mayor Caballero himself if we indeed set new #'s for Beto.
Si Se Puede !
This coming Tuesday April 24th at 1:30 PM at The El Paso Coliseum on Paisano. You will each be given a Beto sign.
We want former President Clinton, when he exits 1-10 from the Airport, to be greeted by our record Human Chain for Beto.
Mr. Clinton will see one of us holding a Beto sign every 10 yards for the mile drive from I-10, on Paisano, all the way to the Coliseum where he will enter the building.
We need to confirm the first 167 Beto Supporters to break the Previous Human Chain record. Can I count you as one of our record breaking 167 ?
